“Go on, Tina…I am listening…” Eric started but realized the movers were still present before silencing his best friend’s rambling, “let’s talk in your bedroom so they don’t have to hear us.”

Tina looked startled, looking around before moving towards her bedroom and Eric went in closing the door behind him.  Eric dropped onto the carpeted floor leaning against the wall, his attention towards Tina before encouraging her to continue.

“I am having dreams of her again.” Tina mumbled.

Eric tilted his head to the right, “You don’t even know who she is right?”

Tina shook her head, “Eric, you don’t understand…these dreams are getting vivid that I…” She was trying to calm herself.

“Tina…please go on and that is okay, I am here for you.” Eric spoke softly not to push her.

Tina took a long and deep breath before continuing, “I changed.”

Eric was staring at Tina with confusion, “Tina…what? It is not even a full moon?!”

“I know, Eric! I did not wolf out, just…” Tina was blushing but hurriedly continued, “I found her.”

Zooming in, the beautiful brunette dressed in high-end designer brand clothing, wearing thin-black rimmed glasses, sitting alone in her office, typing away at her computer with a bluetooth earpiece in her ear.

The door to her office opened slowly before a male voice called out, “Bette, it is getting late so is there anything else you need me to get done before I head out?”

Looking up at her assistant, James Stone with a smile then shook her head, “Hey James, thank you for checking in and please go on home and see you tomorrow morning.  Good night.” Bette said, watching the door close and lights blinking off leaving her office as the only room illuminated in the entire building before turning her attention towards her computer.

“One more hour of this, I am so done with this.” Bette whispered to no one as she continued typing.

Sniffing…

Sniffing…

Sniffing…

Growling sounds

Soft panting sounds

Sniffing…

Golden eyes scanned the building and they brightened for a moment when the eyes landed on the only illuminated room in the building before lowering their sight on the ground landing onto a walking figure leaving the building towards the parking garage.  They returned to the sight of the office.  The figure continued staring at the window of the office until the building was finally dark and the scent was increasing, luring the figure to seek out the source of the scent.

Howling…

Howling…

Howling…

The wolf in her was howling in stellar excitement of recognizing the scent of its soulmate, pushing its dominance against her human side’s logic.

We must claim her!

Her smell is so divine!

We know we must claim her now!

Now!

Better was walking towards her Saab, her pride after locking up the gallery building and

*soft thud*

Turning around instantly, trying to pinpoint the sound and its location, she frowned before shaking her head after realizing that she was just tired.  Sliding inside of her driver’s seat, Bette lean her head against the headrest for a moment releasing a heavy sigh before turning the ignition.  As the car was gliding away, the figure walked and watched the red tail lights dim before disappearing, panting heavily as the golden eyes changed to hazel eyes and a few drops of sweat descending across the forehead.

“Beautiful…”  whispered the hidden figure, looking up towards the black sky, no full moon was visible.
